How to test a Mallory Ignition System for Harley Davidson - YouTube Here is a you tube video showing exactly what Ray is talking about. You need to be sure you have the correct coil for sure, also Mallory has been bought out by Accel as far as I can tellAre you talking about Mallory Uni-Lite. There should be 3 wires coming from the module.
The Red goes to the battery side of the coil(+ side). The Green, trigger wire, goes to the other side of the coil(- side). The Brown goes to a good ground, i.e. battery neg. side or frame ground. If it were to be hooked up wrong then it is Toast. I believe you can test by placing your VOM red lead to the battery side of the coil. Turn Key on, but don't start the bike. With a credit or business card place it between the 2 LED lights on the module. The voltage should drop from 12Vdc to 2 Vdc or less. If it is more than 2 Vdc then the unit is bad.
